Carmi bats were alive early as they scored nine runs in the first two innings. In the first Cole Tucker singled, followed by a Tyler Barbre double to right scoring Tucker. When the throw to the plate trying to nab Tucker got away, Barbre was also able to score. In the second, Drew Lucas, Dakotah Farthing, Tyler Barbre and Stanton Hathaway all had hits, and Cole Tucker had a sacrifice fly as part of a seven-run outburst.

Starting pitcher Stanton Hathaway, who had spent all day at basketball camp in Carbondale, pitched 5 2/3 innings to earn the victory. CWC Bulldog player Tyler Barbre went 5 for 5 at the plate with two doubles.
